It seems that cars are continuing to get smarter. These days, we can navigate without maps, parallel park without touching the wheel, and make a phone call without laying a finger on our mobile. Technology has come to the rescue on many accounts—for those that get distracted changing the station on the radio, we have controls on the steering wheel; for those that can’t handle driving with a phone on the ear, we have hands-free calling features. Now, for those that fumble with their Smartphones to check friends’ status updates, we have OnStar’s new Facebook connectivity. The question is: Is this really a step in a safer direction, or is the feature actually more dangerous for drivers?
The program is being test-run by GM, attempting to compete with the already-established Sync system used by Ford. Whereas Ford offers many features that will be part of the new OnStar system, it certainly doesn’t connect with social media. The new Facebook connectivity will not only read newsfeed that would appear from your friends, but will allow you to verbally give status updates—as well as practice voice texting from the car. This will open the social media superpower not only to mobile devices such as cell phones and PDAs, but also vehicles.

The trend was encapsulated by Max Power magazine , launched in 1994, which ran articles on particularly impressive ‘modded’ cars and organized meets where hoards of like-minded speed demons would meet in supermarket car parks across the country to rev their engines, pump tunes out of their oversized speakers, perform donuts and generally show off. ‘Modders’ would spend literally thousands of pounds on making their car stand out from a crowd, they favoured garish paintjobs, elaborate bumpers, side-skirts and spoilers and earth-shaking exhausts.
